Things aren’t looking good for Time After Time. ABC has announced they’re replacing the low-rated series with episodes of Match Game on Sunday nights.
The drama follows a young H.G. Wells (Freddie Stroma) as he travels to the present in pursuit of of the brilliant and engaging surgeon, Dr. John Stevenson (Josh Bowman) a.k.a. “Jack the Ripper.” The cast also includes Génesis Rodríguez, Nicole Ari Parker, Will Chase, Jordan Sparks, and Jennifer Ferrin.
Time After Time premiered on March 5th to very low ratings. The show’s debut received a 0.65 rating in the 18-49 demo and only 2.54 million viewers. The series’ numbers have only declined from there. Only five episodes in, the drama is averaging a 0.54 rating in the 18-49 demo and 2.20 million viewers, making it one of the network’s lowest-rated series for the 2016-2017 season.
While ABC has not officially announced a cancellation (networks rarely do), it seems certain that it’s cancelled, given the terrible ratings and the show being pulled from the schedule. Match Game will air in place of Time After Time beginning April 2nd. There are currently no plans to air the remaining installments.
What do you think? Have you seen Time After Time? Do you think it should have been cancelled?
Just found this show and just finished watching season 1 in 2 days. Loved it! This is an excellent show…..why did you cancel it? Please bring it back! You’ve made a big mistake canceling it. All will be forgiven if you bring it back please please please!
Please try season 2!! I need to know where Jane is
Please bring back this show at least on Netflix because its really good best sci-fi on abc
I like the show it was an interesting take on h g wells time machine and I felt it was getting better each episode. Would like to see more.
Disappointed. Every time there is something good to watch they pull it off. Now there is only stupid shows to watch.
I am so sorry to see this leave the air.
I thought it was a great series and I was so looking forward to another season.
Too bad, My issue is that why don’t they give series another chance,
I’m an avid television watcher and I don’t even recall this program being advertised. I love shows with a historical theme and would have watched it if it would have been promoted properly. Seems ABC is the main reason it failed based on all the positive comments posted.
